These treasured food and nutrition experts translate the science of nutrition into practical solutions for healthier living.
Some of my favorite people are RD/RDNs. I’ve been blessed to teach with many inspiring, kind, knowledgeable, and dynamic dietitians over a span of more than 20 years. RDN’s are trailblazers and advocates for improving the health of our communities through nutrition and are passionate about sharing their breadth of knowledge with their diabetes community and colleagues alike.
People with diabetes who meet with a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RD/RDN) can expect an A1C drop of 0.3% to 2.0%.
We are honored to highlight the significant impact RDNs have on individuals, communities, and society as a whole by promoting healthy eating habits, preventing disease, and improving our overall quality of life by encouraging us to eat a rainbow of foods filled with fiber and phytonutrients.
To celebrate Registered Dietitian Day, we are highlighting a leader in the field and the newest member of our DiabetesEd Team, Christine Craig.

We are excited to welcome our newest faculty member! Christine is a Registered Dietitian, Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist and a consultant dietitian.

Winner of the 2023 Impact on Diabetes Award, she is a leader in the field of nutrition, technology, and diabetes care. She has served as a preceptor, lecturer, researcher, and is an active association board member.
